46. Denying Hillary's war vote is as bad as her defending it. Denying Clinton's pro-NAFTA

belief and support isn't helping your country, at all. These two bad decisions have done more to undermine America and the American family than any legislation in the previous 60 years. Spend your time trying to develop (in your mind) why, if she's nominated, that she lost. I'm sure you'll have brilliant reasons for her defeat. Unfortunately they won't be reality based.

51. Mario Coumo said that Hillary has an easier road because McCain can't hit her about

Iraq. I agree with him. She voted, she funded, she's on the ASC, and most of the country agrees with her about bringing the troops home as fast as possible. McCain talking about surges and losing won't cut it.

I've never bought into the the "Hillary is the easy one, and they want to run against her" meme.

As far as current matchup polling goes, IMO it really doesn't matter. Everything changes once it goes head to head. Polling numbers can turn on a dime.

In GE issues, it's all about the economy. No one can get up to speed fast enough to debate Hillary or Obama about economic issues. Health care is a target for either Hillary or Obama, but again, a huge number of people want health care.

Hillary KNEW for at least 24 hours at this point that the prepared remarks proved Kerry merely dropped a pronoun from a joke. Instead of defending a fellow Dem from the VRW lie machine, she found a camera to VALIDATE the smear.

41. Then why did he cancel the invocation that Rev Wright was to give at his announcement of his run?

Sorry doesn't fly, hell it doesn't walk. This story is the end of obamanation.Your arguments require one to take everything the lord god-obama says as truth. All you can say is that your guy denies it so there! Good argument, but as shallow as obama.

And they found the disturbing statements. He said very clearly last night on CNN that he was unaware of the statements at the time they were made but he did become aware when he started running for president. You don't start running on the day of the announcement. Step One is to vet yourself, by having your team dig up anything that might be used against you. He distanced himself from Wright last year because he did not agree with these statements.

If you want to know where "this" is coming from, just check the RW AM Talk shows (and their websites), and the RW-"news" sites, like "NewsMax" and the one that sound like "weekly worlds news," It's something like that, I just can't remember the name of in now.

The fact that he didn't go negative even after vile Rovian attacks on him (frankly some of the most disgusting attacks I've seen in politics: claiming he was mentally unbalanced because of his POW time, insinuating the girl they adopted was his illegitimate child, etc.) could mean a few things:

A) Maybe he has principles. Before the chorus of people accuse me of naivite, this is actually possible. His "maverick" status and distrust from the GOP rank and file come from the fact that he doesn't toe the GOP line all the time; it's possible he actually is a principled person with some wrong political views.

B) Maybe he saw the writing on the wall and didn't want to damage his party's eventual nominee (hint, hint)

C) Maybe he's a really bad campaigner and just couldn't mount an attack

The both won NH, for example, after losing in Iowa, and what do you know, McCain wound up as the nominee.

Hillary is proving to be a much tougher sell, but she knows she's got the best fixers in the business behind her, and if they could foist Monkey Boy on us for eight years, they ought to be able to foist her.

Basically, she's McCain's understudy, and I think she fully expects Obama to be taken out in any way necessary.
